A 2,000-CALORIE milkshake that is the equivalent of 68 rashers of bacon and 30 chocolate-chip cookies has been dubbed the worst drink in the US.

Made with chocolate ice cream, milk and peanut butter, the drink - called the Cold Stone PB&C - packs a whopping 2,010 calories, 131 grams of fat - 68 grams of which is saturated - and a massive 153 grams of sugar.

It topped the Men's Health 20 Worst Drinks in America 2010 list, beating a McDonald's Triple Thick Chocolate Milkshake to the post.

Delicious

The magazine said on its website: "In terms of saturated fat, drinking this Cold Stone catastrophe is like slurping up 68 strips of bacon."

"Health experts recommend capping your saturated fat intake at about 20 grams per day, yet this beverage packs more than three times that into a cup..."

Yeee haaawww...

[Fast Moving Angel]

Hm. I’d rather have the bacon and chocolate chip cookies.

I’m ready, I’m ready, I’m ready!

Hey, you’re going to need something to wash it down with :)

How can it be bad if it has chocolate, milk, peanut butter and bacon in it? Did they forget eggs or something?

For those on Weight Watchers I figure it’s 50 points!!!!!!!! YIKES!

And somewhere out there in the dark, some self righteous prig is just pulling their hair out trying to find a way to make this thing illegal.

What the hell is a rasher? Do I need a cream for that?

[alice_in_bubbaland]

LOL! Most members of the Democrap Party!

I used to eat a whole fresh baked french bread in one sitting when I was in my 20s and training for a marathon...along with a whole gallon of water and a couple bananas. This was AFTER running of course, not before.

The McDonald's Triple Thick Chocolate Shake comes in third. A large cup of that is worth 1,160 calories or the equivalent of 13 McDonald's apple pies.

Equal to 13 apple pies? Man that's some shake.

I am on my way to get one.

[Dr.Zoidberg]

You got that right.

[Aarchaeus]

I’ll take one! With topping of real whipped cream, sweetened.

I hate to tell the health police; but peanut butter and milk are much better for you in the afternoon at work than most anything. They really mellow you out.

[Nachum]

Oh yeah. When I was playing college soccer, I could pack it away. The team used to have steak and eggs the morning of a game.
